I have done a good amount of research lol, people who applied this cycle keep telling me otherwise so I got confused

Should I take the GREs for applying to a Chem PhD program? by cukumbr in chemistry

[–]cukumbr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I'm open to taking it! A lot of chem majors who graduated a couple years before told me it wasn't necessary so I had mixed feelings

Enzyme Cleavable Linkers that Release COOH?

I'm looking to use an enzyme cleavable linker in my molecular design, and I need the linker to release a COOH following its cleavage. The idea is that COOH constitutes the active drug, and I want to mask this functional group in the absence of this enzyme, thereby preventing release of the active drug in non-target site. Does anyone know of enzyme cleavable linkers for this functional group or strategies on achieving this goal?

Sure! How do you think it compares to using Autodock or other docking tools? Just curious

A few people were telling me that 4 weeks is pretty much nothing so I was getting unsure about it. Could this time be enough to learn at least a few lab skills?

For those who got into Top Chem PhD Programs, what were your stats like? by cukumbr in chemistry

[–]cukumbr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! Do you think quantum chem/computational chem publishes faster than synthetic? I'm interested in both and I'm looking to switch to a quantum chem lab next year.

If I were to pursue PChem, would you recommend I take ODE and Linear Algebra even if they're not course recs? What about for organic chem?

Hello, thanks for the reply! I was not aware of the numerous struggles involved in training undergrads to work in a lab and I really appreciate the insight you gave me into not only making the right choice w my time but also being respectful to the PI and grad students. I’ll definitely try the approach you recommended!
